It is pretty odd that we went through 4 years of Trump, halfway through #Biden's presidency and now these #documents pop up right after Republicans win back the House. Seems a little sus.

@becka Oh, I thought it was December that they found them. I just wonder what they were looking for in the first place and how this could get overlooked for so long. Does every former VP/Pres have some amount of classified docs on them just due to the large amount of paperwork that's required? It's all very weird to me. And also kind of seems like a fishing attempt so they can go through all his shit in an attempt to find something they can run with.

@Zammer the first batch of documents was found before the midterms by Biden’s people. Typically, they kept the story quiet until after the election was finalized.
What’s weird to me is the slow drip on new classified documents that seems to be getting discovered.

@becka yeah, I don't exactly trust his lawyers either. It all just seems too convenient. The exact thing Trump's being investigated for. Though Trump's infractions are much much worse because they were deliberate and he lied about it. I know I sound like a conspiracist but I think that I'll be proven right that something is off here.

@Zammer I’d be hesitant to describe it as a “fishing expedition” if his own lawyers are the ones finding these documents. The fact that some documents could sometimes be unintentionally missplaced by him or his staff at the time doesn’t seem that surprising but it’s still a problem.
I don’t it’s too hard to believe that anyone else would be reprimanded, fired and possibly prosecuted for such negligence. That being said, Trump’s infractions still seem much more serious and arrogant.
